Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink have a class specifically for Chatsworth International School's IB curriculum?
Yes. Chatsworth International School students follow the IB Mathematics curriculum, and we run a dedicated IB Math class to match.
How does the IB Math curriculum differ from the local secondary syllabus?
IB Math covers different content at a different pace from the MOE secondary syllabus. Students who attend a general secondary tuition class risk spending time on O-Level or SEC exam content that won't appear in their assessments. Our dedicated IB class avoids that.
When should an IB student start tuition?
We recommend starting early — the IB curriculum diverges from the local secondary syllabus quickly, and gaps compound. Students who join mid-programme can also be accommodated.
What makes DeepThink different for IB students?
A dedicated IB class that stays on the IB curriculum throughout your child's secondary years.
School Overview
Chatsworth International School is a co-educational international school in Singapore, founded in January 1995 by a small group of students and teachers in Upper Serangoon. It is an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School authorised to deliver all three programmes of the IB continuum — the Primary Years Programme, the Middle Years Programme, and the Diploma Programme — and it serves children from kindergarten through to Year 13, spanning ages 3 to 18. Its guiding mission, "Inspire, Educate, Enlighten," has shaped the school's approach since its founding, and its emblem is the phoenix.
Chatsworth has occupied more than one campus over its history. After starting in Upper Serangoon, it moved in 1998 to a site off Orchard Road that had been the original home of the Singapore Chinese Girls' School, and later operated a separate primary campus in the East. In August 2018 the school consolidated at a permanent campus at 72 Bukit Tinggi Road in the Bukit Timah area, next to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, catering to students from kindergarten to Year 13 on a single site. The school is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and is EduTrust certified by Singapore's Committee for Private Education.
Curriculum and the IB Pathway
Chatsworth follows the International Baccalaureate continuum from the earliest years through to pre-university. Students from Kindergarten 1 to Year 6 (ages 3 to 11) follow the IB Primary Years Programme, an inquiry-led, transdisciplinary framework; students in Years 7 to 11 (ages 12 to 15) take the IB Middle Years Programme; and Year 12 and 13 students (ages 16 to 18) complete the IB Diploma Programme. This is a fully international pathway and differs from the Singapore MOE syllabus in both content and assessment: there is no O-Level, N-Level, or Singapore-Cambridge SEC examination, and the Diploma is built around the IB core of Theory of Knowledge, the Extended Essay, and Creativity, Activity, Service.
Mathematics at Diploma level is taken as one of two routes — Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches or Mathematics: Applications and Interpretation — each offered at Standard or Higher Level, and the choice a student makes can shape their university options in fields such as engineering, economics, and the sciences. Because the IB Mathematics syllabus moves at a different pace and covers different material from the local curriculum, families sometimes look for support matched specifically to the IB rather than to O-Level or A-Level preparation. DeepThink, a specialist mathematics tuition centre, runs small-group classes aligned to the IB Mathematics curriculum, including both the Analysis and Approaches and Applications and Interpretation routes, which some Chatsworth families find useful for consolidating understanding ahead of the Diploma years.
Admissions
Admission to Chatsworth is by application directly to the school rather than through Singapore's PSLE posting exercise or the Direct School Admission scheme, which apply only to local MOE schools. Families apply for a specific entry point along the IB continuum, and places are offered on the basis of the school's own assessment of each child's readiness and fit, alongside the availability of places in the relevant year group. Because the school spans Kindergarten 1 to Year 13, entry is possible at a range of ages from early childhood through to the Middle Years and into the Diploma.
As an international school, Chatsworth draws its students overwhelmingly from Singapore's expatriate and internationally mobile community; under Singapore government policy, local Singapore citizens generally require approval to enrol in an international school. Prospective families are encouraged to begin the application process ahead of their intended start date, as demand for places at popular entry points can be high. Specific entry requirements, assessment steps, and fee information are published by the school's admissions office and are the authoritative source for current applicants.
Facilities and Co-Curricular Activities
The Bukit Timah campus is a purpose-built site that brings together the primary, middle, and diploma sections alongside shared facilities for sport, the arts, and learning. Its facilities include a multi-purpose performance hall, an indoor sports hall, a swimming pool, a football pitch, a sheltered amphitheatre, a drama room, a maker space, and music practice rooms. Sitting next to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, the campus also places students close to one of Singapore's principal green spaces.
Co-curricular activities are offered for students from Year 1, both before and after school, and span team sports, the arts, leadership, and special-interest clubs. Chatsworth is a member of the Athletic Conference of Singapore International Schools (ACSIS), through which students compete against other international schools across a range of sports. The school also takes part in regional arts events, including those organised by the International Schools Theatre Association (ISTA) and the International Schools Art Exhibition, giving students opportunities to perform and exhibit beyond the campus.
School Community and Culture
Chatsworth's culture reflects its mission to "Inspire, Educate, Enlighten" and the internationally minded ethos of the IB. The community is highly diverse, drawing students from dozens of nationalities, and the school emphasises small class sizes and a personalised approach to teaching. As an IB World School running the full continuum, it aims to develop students who are inquirers, knowledgeable, and open-minded across their years from kindergarten to the Diploma, supported by pastoral structures appropriate to each stage.
For many families, joining Chatsworth means navigating a move to Singapore and a change of curriculum at the same time, and students entering the Middle Years and Diploma sometimes need to settle quickly into the demands of the IB pathway. Mathematics is a subject where a smooth transition matters, because the IB approach can differ noticeably from a student's previous system. DeepThink's small-group IB Mathematics classes, which follow the IB curriculum rather than the local syllabus, are one option that some families in the Chatsworth community use to help their children build confidence during this transition and through the Diploma years.
